some folks are 'addictive'. They seem to get hooked on booze or drugs immediately. I can drink heavy, and stop. Coffee, booze and what have you. Just no addiction at all, no matter how hard I 'abuse' the stuff.
Me and my brother had the same drinking habits growing up; drink until we passed out.
The next morning he'd be in the 'fridge looking for leftover beers, me with a hangover put a beer in front of me and it was like vampires and sunlight, couldn't even look at it. I'm sure genetics plays a huge role in alcoholism, it weren't willpower that limited my drinking.
He became a full blown alcoholic, I had a few narrow escapes from DWI's not because I craved the stuff, but because I was drinking it.
He joined AA early and got cleaned up, makes much more retired now than I do working.
